Pleasure in Sin Taketh Away Our Joy in God
Psalm 51:12
Restore to me the joy of your salvation; and uphold me with your free spirit.


Nothing spoileth us of this joy and pleasure that we have in God, but only sin. For once delighting in sin, we can have no pleasure in God's service; for these two can never stand together. Therefore we must loathe sin, that we may rejoice in God.

(A. Symson.)
